Curatorial Note

In SOFT.RENDER, sensation is archived, not captured. The image renders with soft latency, each mark echoing a contact long past but not forgotten. The ASCII text doesn’t just outline a figure—it enfolds it. Translation becomes touch, paper becomes relic, code becomes communication. This isn’t nostalgia; it’s survival by repetition. A looped ritual of saving what was once felt.

The choice of material—obsolete paper, mechanical printing—further embeds the work in the aesthetics of failure, nostalgia, and survival.
